Grandma Ma was getting on in years and her mind wasn't as sharp as it used to be, which forced Ma Dong to take on adult responsibilities far too early.
A primary school student who talks about writing an IOU has clearly been battered by life.
Suizi had Yu Jingting find someone to check in Ma Dong's hometown, convinced that some oddball relative must have bewitched the child for him to know about such things.
Investigations take time, and these past few days Suizi and her husband had been taking Grandma Ma to the clinic, hoping against hope for a misdiagnosis, praying for a miracle.
But Suizi was also mentally prepared; the chances of a liver cancer misdiagnosis were very slim. While it was possible in the early stages, by the time it spread, the probability of misdiagnosis decreased significantly.
Indeed, when the results came back, the doctor asked to speak with Suizi alone in the office.
